Bloomberg Criticizes Laws That Led To Zimmerman Acquittal

People gather in Times Square on Sunday to protest George Zimmerman’s acquittal.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Tuesday said there’s a stark lesson to be learned from Trayvon Martin case: current laws make it too easy for people to be “judge, jury and executioner.”

Mr. Bloomberg, reacting to George Zimmerman’s Saturday night acquittal for the shooting death of Mr. Martin, said the real problem is state laws that make it too easy for defendants to claim self-defense.
